Well, it looks like someone has listened... I didn't see a thread anywhere else, so I'll post it here, some one has rooted the motoactv. the story, along with a link to a how to is available, just google it. I was gonna post a link, but I can't.
I'm going to continue the trend, like everyone else on this page and use the same quote... The device was rooted awhile ago, we have since created tools, posted tips, remapped buttons, and even created a custom recovery. Like everyone else, I would strongly suggest reading the full thread.
You mean to tell me alot has been done to this device ..... Wtf ive been under a rock and forgot how to read a thread :/

Here's the latest batch script! Side note, this is my 100th Post! ^__^
To install the Custom Recovery (Credits goto utkanos) Goto Restore -> Recovery -> custom -> recovery.img
I ditched SuperOneClick to save space in the zip, and just used the zergRush Exploit (Credits goto Exploid Team). There is a known issue where the exploit freezes after it says "Killing ADB server and restarting as root... Enjoy". At this point, you need to unplug the USB cable and plug it back in for the script to continue.

Alright. Where to begin...
To stop ADB on the device after rooting, plug it into the computer and open an ADB command prompt, then type
Code:
adb shell stop adbdThat will allow you to access the USB mass storage on the device.
The code to reset the device when it malfunctions, aka the "battery pull code" is to hold Start + Power for 7 seconds. The device will shut off and you can restart with the power button.
Google Apps DO NOT WORK. Period. There is NO working google apps zip or market for this device yet. The googleservicesframework and vending apks WILL force close on you. Repeatedly. And many more errors will occur. To stop that, you'll need to manually uninstall the installed apk's through jay's script. That's the easiest way.
Just to clear any confusion... If you installed the GApps zip and are now getting the force closures, you may PM me for a script to uninstall the GApps. It is not built into my batch file, it is a separate batch file I created for testing.
Nice work!
I'm assuming there's no untethered way to enter recovery yet (ie: button press on bootup)
If you followed my GScripts post awhile back, you can create a script to reboot into recovery.
Plug in USB cable
Stop ADB (This enables Mass Storage)
Open My Computer
Open MotoACTV (Not the CDRom partition)
Open gscripts folder (If it's not there, download the zip from my GScripts post)
Create a new Text file named RebootRecovery.sh (Remove the .txt extension)
Open it with notepad type "reboot recovery" (No quotes) and close and save it.
Unplug USB cable
Open GScripts
Press Menu
Add Script
Load Script
Click RebootRecovery.sh
You can now open GScript and tap on RebootRecovery.

I thank everyone very much for the great work, I had a layman but all thanks to you I finally successfully put into operation . But I have a question or request , I would like notification from a connected smartphone ( gmail or anymail , not working properly call , etc) , you can not edit this also ?
thx and sorry for my very bad english
thx and sorry for my very bad english
I thought the Battery code sequence that worked for me involved Power+Music but I could be mistaken. There was a lot of swearing involved, LOL!
My ADB command wasnt "ADB stop", I typed out the full command. I abbreviated it for the post.
Gapps was just a stab in the dark. I had no expectation of it really working. My previous attempt resulted in cert auth failures when trying to load the individual apks vs installing the entire zip via recovery. Less FC's than before but still present. Oh well.
mounting the SD via recovery...yea or nea?

has anyone gotten my tracks, gps essentials or other gps running apps to install? I keep getting a 'not installed' error. I looked back on previous posts as some others ran into this issue but with no response. Only one I've got to install is allsports gps which is decent but you have to set the density to 80 or so.
The majority of the bounty has been paid, but there are still close to half that haven't paid their portion of the bounty they put up. If you put money towards the custom recovery, please donate to utkanos by clicking on the "Donate to me" button on one of his posts. Please let me know when you have paid so that I can mark you off the list.
I wonder if its because of a missing app its associated with (even though gmaps is installed) or a 3g data connection. I believe all these other apps work off of gmaps while allsports gps uses its own maps, works offline with no data needed and installs fine.
This may sound dumb but...
Forgive my android ignorance, and I'm glad we have a custom recovery, but can someone explain just what having recovery actually does for us??? Clearly it has value since so many asked for it and there was a bounty and all, but I have no understanding of what having the recovery now actually gives us...

10CWMR ported
Hello,
I have ported CWMR 5.0.2.7 to the Motoactv (F100) device.
Code:#include <std_disclaimer.h> /* * Your warranty is now void. * * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. */
The procedure for this is as follows. You MUST have working adb knowledge to use this and you must be able to restore using the available tool should any problems arise. This is considered an ALPHA release that may need additional work. I did not have access to the device during the port so all testing was done through TheEndGame7. THERE MAY BE ISSUES, you are warned.
1) Download this file: CWMR5x_F100_recoveryA.img
2) adb push CWMR5x_F100_recoveryA.img /data/local/
3) adb shell (become root)
4) dd if=/data/local/CWMR5x_F100_recoveryA.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p13
5) exit adb from the device
6) adb reboot recovery (you should be in CWMR now)
The source for the device config is here. Please feel free to go wild with development on this because I do not have the device and likely won't be contributing much more except bug fixes. If you use this source, please give credit where it's due.
NOTE: there are missing images(known). This is because the ramdisk is EXTREMELY finicky on this device and it WILL NOT BOOT past 3.66mb in size. I trimmed out things that weren't needed in order to make this work. The basic functionality you need should be there. adb is also not functioning properly yet within recovery.

TheEndGame7 for being my testing guinea pig.
hashcode for some helpful insight.8Well, it was a *****, but here is build 2, moving to Beta at this point in 'Moto red' by request of TEG.
There is 1 lingering issue: usb support in recovery. It is a bastard, going to really have to tear this thing apart to debug why. Right now, recovery can backup, restore, wipe, flash roms, etc. All the stuff you're used to working, now does. I fixed images by shrinking the kernel to fit more stuff in here. You should no longer get any weird image errors. I bumped you up to 5.0.2.8 source as well.
Flash this file the same as before via adb and dd.
CWMR5x_F100_recoveryB.img
adb push CWMR5x_F100_recoveryB.img /data/local/
adb shell
# dd if=/data/local/CWMR5x_F100_recoveryB.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p13
# exit
adb reboot recovery
Some additional notes I'd like to share that might help you as you mess with this device now that I've played with one.
1) NEVER use adb reboot bootloader for any reason. You get stuck in a ****tily programmed loop of hell. The way out of this loop is by following these instructions:
a) hold START, POWER, VOL UP, VOL DOWN together for 10 seconds at least. You should see the screen flicker on and off twice.
b) plug in the USB cable to turn device on
c) you should boot back to rom, if not, do it again. It's touchy.
2) The 'soft' reset is done by START + POWER for 5 seconds.
Enjoy. Source is updated. This will likely be the last update unless I get adb working.

ClearD for files8Attached is the latest copy of my MotoACTV Easy Modder v1.0. This is a MAJOR upgrade! Adds numerous features and completely revises how backups are stored on the computer. Need to use 7zip to extract it, wouldn't let me upload that big of a .zip file.
To make this version see your old backups, open your IMGs folder, make a new folder (no spaces), drag all your old .img files into it.
